O sons and daughters, let us sing!

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66; Jean Tisserand, d. 1494 Appears in 191 hymnals Lyrics: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 1 O sons and daughters, let us sing! The King of heaven, the glorious King, O'er death today rose triumphing. Alleluia! 2 That Easter morn, at break of day, The faithful women went their way To seek the tomb where Jesus lay. Alleluia! 3 An angel clad in white they see, Who sat, and spake unto the three, 'Your Lord goes on to Galilee.' Alleluia! 4 That night the apostles met in fear; Amidst them came their Lord most dear, And said, 'My peace be on all here.' Alleluia! 5 When Thomas first the tidings heard, How they had seen the risen Lord, He doubted the disciples' word. Alleluia! 6 'My piercèd side, O Thomas, see; My hands, my feet, I show to thee; Not faithless, but believing be.' Alleluia! 7 No longer Thomas then denied; He saw the feet, the hands, the side; 'Thou art my Lord and God,' he cried. Alleluia! 8 How blest are they who have not seen, And yet whose faith has constant been, For they eternal life shall win. Alleluia! 9 On this most holy day of days, To God your hearts and voices raise In laud and jubilee and praise. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Author: James Montgomery, 1771 - 1854 Appears in 373 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God, In all thy plenitude of grace, Where’er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race. 2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love To preach the reconciling word; Give power and unction from above, Where’er the joyful sound is heard. 3 Be darkness, at thy coming, light; Confusion, order in thy path; Souls without strength inspire with might; Bid mercy triumph over wrath. A-men. 4 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare All the round earth her God to meet; Breathe thou abroad like morning air, Till hearts of stone begin to beat. 5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh The triumphs of the Cross record; The name of Jesus glorify Till every kindred call him Lord.

Author: Robert Grant, 1779 - 1838 Appears in 1,144 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above, O gratefully sing his wonderful love; Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of his might, O sing of his grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power hath founded of old; Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. 6 O measureless Might, ineffable Love, While angels delight to hymn thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall sing to thy praise.
